No injuries reported after garage fire on Brooks Avenue in Chilliwack Friday morning

CHILLIWACK – Chilliwack fire crews battled a garage fire at a home on Brooks Avenue Friday morning.

Chilliwack Assistant Fire Chief Chris Wilson says fire crews were dispatched at about 7:10 a.m. Friday morning (May 15) for the report of a structure fire in the 46000 block of Brooks Avenue. Firefighters upgraded the call to a second alarm once they saw a column of black smoke billowing from the property while they were on their way to the scene.

On arrival, crews encountered a large volume of fire and smoke coming from a single storey detached garage near the rear of the residential property.

Assistant Fire Chief Wilson says crews worked quickly to establish a water supply from a nearby fire hydrant and knocked down the fire before it could spread to the house on the property.
